After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

Yao Yi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, because he was obviously his father's legitimate son, but his father seemed to treat him as a shame and never told others that he was the second son of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

When the prince got married, he and his mother were heavily guarded in the yard and were not allowed to go out, as if they could not bear the light of day.

As a father, he was so biased. How could he not feel resentful and hateful?

Yao Yi ate his meal leisurely and asked someone to take the food away. Facing the crazy mother and son, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at an unrelated stranger.

"Aren't you very clear about what I mean? Did I ask you to marry me as the Princess of Zhennan? Qiao Shanshan, you must have forgotten how you got the position of the Princess, right?"

"You took the initiative to climb into my bed, stripped naked, and falsely accused me of taking your innocence. You deliberately attracted a large group of people, including the emperor, to force me to marry you."

"And Yao Yi, he is not my son at all. You used despicable means to pester me shamelessly, and at the cost of destroying my reputation and future, you made the emperor force me to marry you."

Qiao Shanshan's heart almost bled after hearing these sharp words. Her face turned pale in an instant and her body was shaking.

"That's not the case. You drank and couldn't help but be with me, and that's when Yao Yi came. How can you not admit it? Prince, how many times do I have to explain it to you before you will believe it? That night you mistook me for someone else and passionately followed me—"

The face of Prince Zhennan was covered with icy frost, and the mockery at the corners of his mouth was so obvious.

"You don't have to lie to the point where you believe it's true. I know exactly what I look like when I'm drunk, and I won't treat you like another woman and possess you."

"When I married you, I made it very clear that the position of Princess Zhennan was given to you by the Emperor, and I do not recognize it. If you are willing to live in the Zhennan Palace, I will treat you as a guest, that's all."

"This king has only one wife in his heart, and that is his first wife. You are not worthy."

Qiao Shanshan suddenly broke down and couldn't help yelling, "So you let Yao Yi and I become the laughing stock of everyone in Beijing? Yao Yi and I are your wife and children, and you let others point fingers at us behind our backs."

"Yao Jing, you are really cruel. You have given Yao Mingjin so much love, so much power and wealth, why are you unwilling to give some to Yao Yi? Yao Yi is your son. Look at Yao Yi's appearance, he is almost exactly like you."

"It's been so many years, why are you still holding a grudge? Don't you understand how I've felt for you over the years? Your heart should have warmed up over the years."

"Impossible. From the moment you slandered and plotted against me, I will never forgive you. You want the title of Princess of Zhennan, you can have it, but I will never acknowledge you as my wife, nor will I acknowledge him as my son."

Yao Jing said coldly, "I have raised you for so many years, I have done my best."

Qiao Shanshan threw the teacup on the table to the ground in pain and roared angrily, "You are not fair to me and Yao Yi. I will go to the emperor to complain. You have ignored me for so long, I will not let you off easily."

"It's up to you. You should have gone a long time ago and let the emperor see that there is no possibility between you and me. Maybe the emperor will agree to a divorce."

Yao Jing has always been a man with a very stubborn temper. Being forced to marry Qiao Shanshan was already the most aggrieved thing for him. Why should he be nice to this mother and son?

Yao Yi felt very cold. A chill spread in his blood, almost freezing his whole body.

"Father, am I really not your son? Or do you hate my mother so much that you refuse to acknowledge me as your son?"

Why has he not received all the treatment he deserved for so many years?

Although he had no worries about food, clothing and other necessities, he did not even receive the treatment given to him as the son of Prince Zhennan.

"I've said it a long time ago, you are not my son. I don't know why, your mother was obviously pregnant with another man, but she insisted on putting the baby on me. Yao Yi, you have to face the reality, everything in the Zhennan Palace is not yours, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Qiao Shanshan, stop making trouble in front of me. I don't want to see you. Take your son and go back to your courtyard. No matter how you make trouble, I will not recognize you as the Princess of Zhennan, nor will I let you take charge of anything in the palace. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

"You can take your son and leave now, don't embarrass yourself."

Prince Zhennan's words completely hurt Qiao Shanshan. She left with her son in tears.

"Mom, is what my father said true? I am not his son, so he is unwilling to acknowledge you as his wife, and he is unwilling to acknowledge me, and he does not give us the respect we deserve."

Yao Yi was sad and filled with strong hatred, but what if he really was not the son of Prince Zhennan? It seemed that everything made sense.

Qiao Shanshan clenched her fists. "Yier, don't let your imagination run wild. You are Yao Jing's biological son. He hates me, so he doesn't acknowledge you. You own half of the property in the Zhennan Palace. No one can take away what belongs to you."

Her son must be Yao Jing's son, without a doubt.

She loved Yao Jing before, and even though she knew that he had resentment in his heart, she didn't want to appear in front of him all the time. She always thought that his anger would dissipate one day, and he would see her love for him and be moved by her sincerity.

However, unexpectedly, more than ten years later, Yao Jing was still as hard-hearted and ruthless as when he was forced to marry her, and was even unwilling to share any benefits with her son.

Yao Mingjin's wedding brought disgrace to her and Yao Yi, and she became everyone's laughing stock. She could no longer endure it.

"Son, do you want the Zhennan Palace?"

Qiao Shanshan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked her son the most important question.

Yao Yi's soul was deeply shaken, and the desire for power surged up. He didn't want to lie to the only woman who loved him in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

So he answered truthfully, "Mother, aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I want to, but do you think it's possible? Father is so indifferent to me, how could he give me the title?"

"As long as it's what you want, mother will help you get it. Everything your father didn't give you, mother will find a way to give it to you."

Qiao Shanshan's face was cold as ice. How much she loved Yao Jing before, how much she resented him now. Since she couldn't get the man and his love, she had to get the power, wealth and status.

Yao Yi was extremely excited. He had dreamed of becoming the King of Zhennan, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and living without having to care about the moods of his father and elder brother.

"Mom, can you really do this? My father and brother don't trust us at all. It's like guarding against thieves. How can we get the title?"

You can't hire someone to kill both his father and Yao Mingjin, that would be very difficult and impossible.

"The emperor is your uncle, and you can still get the emperor to stand on your side at the critical moment. Just wait and see. Yao Jing doesn't recognize you as his son, and we don't want him anymore."

"I will listen to you, mom. I will do whatever you tell me to do. But mom, you must be careful. We only have one chance. My dad and my brother are both cunning men like foxes. If we fail the first time, it will be even harder to scheme against them later."

As the mother and son talked, they returned to their yard with gloomy faces.

Qiao Shanshan and Yao Yi spoke in a very low voice just now, and only the two of them could hear them. They thought that their plan was done secretly, but there were many spies in the Zhennan Palace who knew lip reading, and the content of their conversation soon reached Yao Jing's ears.
